Dubstepforum.com

So ive been into dub for awhile, and i want to start doing my own work so i can spin at partys or events and stuff. I have a really creative mind and i have beats in my head that i want to get down so i can spin at a local party or even just because. Can i get any suggestions for beginner equipment i can buy to get started? Nothing too pricey because i have alot to pay for at the moment but a little set up that would get me through any party or something i would be spinning at.

Thanks

do you mean DJing or producing?

Like Djing
so i could like spin at a party or something

Well, unless you have them on CDs too, DJing isnt what your trying to learn.

I think you might wanna read up a bit about how electronic music works before you dive in man, DJs dont make the songs, they mix them. If youve got something original in your head, a setof decks isnt going to let it out. If you want too learn to mix sets, thats where djing comes in.

Oh alright, I want to be able to take a track. Play it, and add my Dubstep to it. Thats what i want to be able to do. So after saying that, What all am i going to need as far as equipment wise to do so?

I think we're all confused guys.

so play it and then while it''s playing remix it? that's pretty amitious

If you wanna DJ get on over to ebay and have a look at a couple of used turntables + mixer or a half decent midi mixer
if you wanna produce find/buy a DAW and a midi keyboard if you've got the money

If you wanna do both at the same time grow an extra pair of arms and then follow the above

I think he means he wants to produce his own tracks, then play them out alongside other commercial releases?

They're two totally different things though buddy, i wouldn't advise starting them both at the same time. I don't DJ but i assume that producing to a level where you can play out is more time consuming than learning to DJ? If so i'd start that first.

Im intrigued as to what this bloke is actually asking...........
